It's been one year since the US election – Donald Trump has done
absolutely nothing since becoming President
If you’re desperately searching for a glimmer of hope, there’s plenty to
be had watching our President squirm due to a painful-looking case of
bureaucratic blueballs

This has been a horrible year for America. Tolerance has been expelled
from Capitol Hill, diversity is being met with derision and empathy is
getting harder and harder to find. Every day, those who would see us
divided take another colossal swipe at America’s collective identity – and
every day, our cumbersome institutions and fleeting democratic principles
are being put to the test.

Why?

It’s been 365 days since a clueless megalomaniac sailed past a gaggle of
dedicated, career politicians and was foolishly handed the keys to the
most powerful office on the planet. Here was a man who endorses religious
bigotry, incites political violence, condemns equality and mocks the
disabled. He openly treats women like pieces of meat, and degrades those
fighting for equality – still, America nonsensically elected Donald Trump
its leader.

His twisted presidential campaign was one of hatred and fear. Trump’s
caricature nationalist agenda vowed to dismantle Obamacare and force
Mexico to pay for a “beautiful” border wall nobody asked for. Trump
promised us a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United
States”, said he would bring coal mining back to the rust belt and give us
all tax cuts. He claimed he would tear apart the Iran nuclear deal,
declare China a currency manipulator and finally release his elusive tax
returns.

Sadomasochism and pie-in-the-sky grandstanding don’t quite cover it.

Fox News bans advert calling for Trump’s impeachment due to negative
viewer reaction
Trump’s scatter-brained agenda sought to destroy America’s democratic
institutions and replace them with a quagmire of plutocracy and
ineptitude. That’s why it’s easy to start thinking about where he’s trying
to take us as a people and get pretty depressed.

But hey – if you’re desperately searching for a glimmer of hope, there’s
plenty to be had watching our President squirm due to a painful-looking
case of bureaucratic blueballs.

You see, Donald Trump thought being president was going to be easy. Hell,
just a couple weeks on the job, dishevelled and disgraced right-hand man
Steve Bannon proudly declared the Trump administration was going to
“deconstruct’” the government to deliver on the reality TV star’s populist
to-do list. Ten months in, Steve Bannon’s career has shrivelled up and
died, and Donald Trump has either failed to deliver or simply given up on
every single one of his key campaign promises.

The President’s bigoted Muslim travel ban? Shot down by the courts. His
mission to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act? Trump’s own party
voted him down. Tear apart the Iran deal? Congress won’t do it. Banning
transgender troops from serving in the military? Blocked by a federal
judge.

It’s almost beyond parody. At this point, Donald Trump couldn’t sell a
starving man a half price taco bowl from the Trump Tower Grill. He might
sound like a tough guy on Twitter, but the truth is he’s been totally
castrated by America’s slow and ham-fisted way of governance – and you
know why?


Centuries ago, our founding fathers dreamed up an intricate web of checks
and balances designed specifically to protect us from wannabe tyrants like
Donald Trump. They compartmentalised the powers of government and split
them between multiple branches to ensure no one man could dismantle the
democratic freedoms and progress that were so hard won. They created
countless long-winded procedures and over-the-top triple-locks to prevent
rapid change.

And almost a year into Donald Trump’s train wreck premiership, those
seemingly arbitrary governmental processes don’t seem so arbitrary
anymore. It’s been a tough couple of months, sure – but zoom out for a bit
of context, and 2017 has effectively been one, huge stress test for
democracy.

In hammering away at that democracy, our President has unwittingly shown
us the cumbersome federal institutions and constitutional frivolities we
often dismiss as pointless are actually crucial cogs in a well-oiled
administrative machine. He’s unintentionally reminded us why red tape was
invented in the first place. And more important still, he’s proven our
shared democratic principles aren’t fading into oblivion – they’re
emerging from the ashes of a political inferno with new purpose and
unbending resolve.

We’ve still got about 1,100 days to go until Donald Trump finally slinks
back to his gilded tower and stops trying to destroy the world around him,
and it’s going to be a hell of a long slog. I mean, it’s really gonna
suck. But the United States was carefully handcrafted to chew up bullies
like Donald Trump and spit them right back out – and so long as we place
our faith in democracy and stand up for what’s right, our commander-in-
chief will continue to stumble through his presidency blind and powerless

No, it wasn't. Today was purely procedural; the injunctions are lifted, but

It's bad enough you are hopelessly ADDICTED to US politics, but your
propensity to outright LIE about them is sinful!

Grow a life, at least pretend to act like a patriotic Canucklehead (if
there is such a thing).

You ignore your own simple dull nation, absorb your mind into ours.

Literally you dismiss your own walk-in beer cooler of a country as
insignificant to the point you refuse to even engage in commentary or
analysis of your own politics.

You evince the classic Canuck "widdle brudda" mentality, always chasing
after the USA in a desperate attempt to coattail on OUR national affairs.

You demonstrate how bereft Canucks are of any national pride and how
desperately you need to use the USA as a whipping post to excuse
yourselves from your own national blunders and dearth of presence on the
global stage.

It must SUCK to be a Canuck, for sure!

ever produced a terrorist that attacked the US. If he really wanted
to stop terrorist from entering the country, he'd put Saudi Arabia at

The Republicans are the ones freaking out. Trump backed a primary
candidate in Alabama - who lost. Then he backed a general election
candidate in the same state - who also lost. Trump's approval rating
in Alabama is 48%, among the highest in the nation. What does this say
about GOP candidates in states with lower Trump approval ratings?

And guess what else? Paul Ryan is thinking about retiring.

With one GOP seat already lost, a major Senator (Rubio) refusing to
support the tax cut and another who's already voted against it and
isn't likely to change his mind, I'm surprised the media hasn't
already declared this latest tax cut for the rich DOA.

I remember them whining about 'unfunded mandates.' Now they demand states
enforce federal immigration laws because Congress won't pay for it.

When a truth is so apparent and pressing that the entire government agrees, it
can turn on a dime. Compare 6 December 1941 to a week later 13 December. But
when they disagree, it locks up as designed.

It's so loaded with candy to lure this senator and that senator into the van,
it's hardly a tax cut bill anymore. It's the 'wholly molely we gotta look like
we can get something done' bill.

Governor Lepetomane: Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and
children blown to bits! We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here,
gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately!
Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!

It is pretty funny indeed that this Scrounge thinks this should be required
reading, and it should, but
it has nothing to do with Trump... No evidence of is anything close to a
tyrant.... But we have seen are Obama and
now his leftovers weaponizing the FBI and now they are stone-walling
Congress and keeping them from doing their
job.... It is slowly but surely dripping out....

Which, of course, is all bullshit. But what can we expect from the
weak minded other than to be meekly led to the slaughter?
